I have missed you, Chicago. This love letter makes me miss you all the more.

Let’s fully and collectively celebrate this victory! Collectively, bc this is as much about NYC and New Yorkers as it is far beyond it.

No bomb should’ve ever dropped on a single civilian, a single child. If this is the end of them I’m glad. But the loss is so so immense and the future so uncertain. What does “peace” mean when it sits atop a genocide? What peace when the genocider dictates its terms?
